Can you set your UVB timer to 5 mins per hour and let it run for 6h to get 0,5h with full UVB? Maybe better to start with a really low dose this time. The adaptation process is pretty quick and takes a maximum of a week or so. Maybe as long as it takes to get an indoor plant used to full sunlight but not more. After 3 days you could give them already 1h in the sun and after a week they should can handle up to 3 or more hours full sunlight. A little visible stress is always when you switch the UVB on and this is okay because it makes sure its working.

Looking forward for a few UV measurements and a few shots with your spectromaster handheld when all additional lights are turned on. I might get an Arduino based DIY Spectrometer; saw some kits for less than 100$. One would need to convert the camera recordings in SPD charts manually but they have a web service for that. Not that comfortable like such a handheld model like yours(still jealous) but I hope to get at least an idea how my spectrum looks like with the UVB bulbs and far-red switched on. I would probably play with it all day long, lol!
So do not be so stingy, bro, and let us finally see some measurements...

Last day of my commercial harvest today!!! Haven’t even turned either meter on yet, i know, wtf?

Will be cranking out the spectrum after a couple days of rest.

I’ll start uv up then, too, will see if i can get my cycle timer set and running like that.

He takes tops when trichs cloud, waits a week or so for middle trichs to cloud, takes them, waits for bottoms to cloud and takes them.

The plants are absolutely exotically beautiful, and way potent.

i often suggest an incremental harvest to some of my associates, along with nirvana vs some of the more expensive gear from other companies.

Day 47 of ?84?: Finished my real harvest yesterday, so i’m gonna start having a few extra hours to break out the uv meter and get uva-b running again, also use that spectrometer to see what this spectrum really looks like. Hopefully will also be receiving QB96s and parts soon, to map individual and upto 8 of them in a new qube 4x4, as prep for a side-by-side quantum title match after xmas. Be sure to check out the qb96 action over on New Quantum board qb96 V2's are out from HLG. Cob replacement fixtures

As part of your viewing enjoyment, you’ll get to see the worlds least knowledgeble electrical novice build some cob-like lights.

That back left “diesel” is looking to be the winner of biggest sized cola(s) plant:

The front right haze may have a contender, too.

@RainDan, @Randomblame, and others, the moment you’ve all been waiting for:

View attachment 4212912

Two 48sams (eight 3000K 228 V2s) with four qb 35s, in a 4x4, at cola tip height, approx 24” from lights.

Massively Yellow, Orange, Red (570-585,585-620,620-780)!

Here’s hlg 550 V2 spectrum:

Lovin those add’l emerson peaks, too!

I like the wider red range you got from those qb35s. My CRI80/90 mix should look almost similar in the red area. Is it the same spectrum all over the space or does it vary slightly depending on where you measure?
